Hey JP, It's nice to be able to make it to the Brown House but, when your legs are not as fast as your BLDDER, Get the picture????? Be ready for it. It comes with age. Of course there is always a Porta Potty. Ha._________________The FGM (The Fairhaven Gas Man)

Great answer Ayn, but, it only covers the liquid and not the solids. Unless you have an answer to that problem too. By the way, is it a one day bag or a weekender. Does it come in vacation size too? Can you go swimming with it? I wouldn't want to play Vollyball with it on. Where do you empty it? _________________The FGM (The Fairhaven Gas Man)

Thanks to Kerry and Bill Dunfey, we finally got pumped out last weekend. Kerry spoke to the pumper guy in regard to the situation over the summer. He said he was working a lot and there were answer machine troubles, etc. She inquired if there could be set dates arranged ahead of time so that we would all know at the beginning of the season and the dates could be posted. Hopefully, over the winter, that plan can be solidified so that next summer is not a repeat of this summer. Now, we can winterize. n Hope everyone has a great winter and see you in the spring!!!n Ray, you mentioned some people that might be interested in our Florida vacation rental. I don't think monthly rental rates are listed on the web site www.whisperingpalmsvilla.com , but the price is substantially less. Feel free to give them our e-mail eaglesnest56dj@yahoo.com.n Maria Eugenio, Mariah and I just got back from there. We had an awesome time. No big hurricanes this time, just the remnants of a small one. We went from 90 degrees to 54 degrees returning home. Brrrrrr. At least it wasn't 11 degrees like when we came home in January. Now that's cold.

Hey Ray as you saw on Sunday I am back in the saddle again as shaky as it feels. Thanks for your concern. That is something I hope I never experience again. Are you all winterized and shut down for the season? I did that this weekend and it was so sad. Think I will go back Sunday to do some cleaning and odds and ends and that will be it.

Hi Ayn. I am all winterized in the trailer but, I have heat all around and am set up for cold weather camping. I usually sleep over several nights in January and February but, Evelyn, has already put the kibosh to that since the heart situation came to being. I have dry food products there that you just add water to and pook, instant C rations. It is kind of lonely down there in winter. I don't see many people. For me it is sort of a soul search and it is a great place to think things out. I refrain from all work and dangerous activity since I am usually alone. You can hear your own heart beat at times. It is that quiet. It was good to see you having a speedy recovery. I would have liked to help you more with the canoe but, I have to be a bit on the cautous side. I may come down this week depending on the weather. I Might bring Armand down too. He has told me he would like to go down. Hope the weather cooperates_________________The FGM (The Fairhaven Gas Man)

sorry jp i don't think you are going to make it down on sunday according to the weather at 6. we went down today and did all we had to do to close up for the season all that is left to do is help eric winterize. see you next season and have a good winter

JP yes I am okay. Thanks for your concern. Just a wake up call that reminded me just how much we take for granted day after day and then when something unexpected happens it really makes you wish that some of the things in life that you took time to think about doing that you had also taken the actions to get them done. I was lucky.......some people aren't.

Hey Ray you were helpful believe me and I thank you once again. I know exactly what you mean about that quiet and soul searching at camp. That is one of the best things about being there. And I love the quiet and don't mind being alone but you never know what can happen and there is always the chance if something happens and nobody is around you could get into trouble.
